Definitions
- the invention relates to a forged or cast piston head of a multi-part piston for
- the guiding and sealing functions are separated from one another.
- the piston head which comprises the piston crown, the ring section, the hubs and their supports, is connected to the piston skirt by the piston pin.
- This design means that the piston skirt is better shielded from the hot piston crown and ring section and can therefore be installed with less clearance than with one-piece pistons, which has a positive effect on smooth running.
- the lateral forces caused by the crank mechanism also have little influence on the piston head due to the articulated connection. This leads
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a piston head for a multi-part piston for diesel engines along the plane including the piston pin axis and the piston axis, consisting of a piston plate (2) forged in one piece from steel and having a combustion chamber bowl (1), the piston plate radially outwards against the piston plate ( 2) adjoining the upper part of the ring section (3), which has the uppermost ring groove, and the supports (5), which are attached to the underside of the piston crown (2) and carry the hubs (4), which are attached at a distance from the inside of the ring section (3).
- the lower part (6) of the ring section (3) consists of austenitic special cast iron or steel and is connected to the upper part via a weld seam (7). Bearing bushes (9) are inserted into the pin hub bores (8).
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a piston head along the plane including the piston pin axis and the piston axis for a piston in a multi-part construction, in which the piston crown (10), the hubs (11), in their bores (12), bearing bushes (13 ) are used, and the supports (14) supporting the hubs (11) are forged in one piece from steel.
- the ring section (15) which is produced separately from austenitic cast iron, is connected to the piston crown (10) via a weld seam (16).
- FIG 3 shows a side view of a piston head in the pin direction for a piston in a multi-part construction, in which the piston crown (17), the supports (18) connected to it and the ring section (19) are forged in one piece from tempered steel.
- the supports (18) are provided with a hub segment (20) into which the hub rings (21), which are made separately from the spheroidal graphite cast iron material, are inserted and connected to them via weld seams (22).
- FIG. 4 A modification of the piston head according to FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 4, in which the hub rings (21) are opposed by steel bands (23) tensioned against their outer circumference, the ends of which are connected and positioned to the supports (18) via weld seams (24) the hub segments (20) are pressed.
- FIG. 5 shows a further modification of the piston head according to FIG. 3.
- the joints (25) of the hub segments (20) connected to the supports (18) are connected to the joints (26) of the legs (27) of the lower hub segments (28) projecting beyond the horizontal central plane of the piston pin (not shown) via weld seams (29). connected.
- FIG. 6 Another modification of the piston head according to FIG. 3 can be seen in FIG. 6, in which sections (30) protruding from the upper hub segments (20) with semicircular arc length are formed and formed by bending over to the lower hub segment (31) and the sections (30 ) are connected by a weld seam (32).
- Fig. 7 shows a along the piston axis and the piston pin axis cross section through a piston head for a piston in a multi-part construction.
- the piston crown (33), the ring portion (34), the supports (35) connected to the piston crown (33) and the Hubs (36) are forged in one piece from tempered steel.
- the hubs (36) in the piston bottom side section are narrower than the width of the bearing bushes (38) inserted into the hubs (36).
- the lateral projection of the bearing bushes (38) is supported by fillet weld seams (39), which direct the flow of force from the bearing bushes (38) into the hubs (35).
- FIG. 8 shows a modification of the piston head according to FIG. 5, in which a bearing shell (40), which is supported on the joints (26) of the lower hub segments (28), is inserted into the upper hub segments (20).
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the piston head according to FIG. 1.
- an annular sheet-metal part (41) with a cross-sectional trough is arranged above the horizontal plane enclosing the lower groove flank of the second annular groove to form a cooling belt (42).
